Question:

I want to transport an ebike 64 lbs, 2.5 in tires, step-thru, and a carbon frame road bike 700x23cm tires. Will the Hollywood RV Rider HLY64FR work?

Expert Reply:

Yes, it will. The Hollywood Racks RV Rider item # HLY64FR has an 80 lbs per bike capacity, it fits tires up to 5" wide, and has padded clamps with hand knobs. The padded clamps work great with step-thru bikes because they can be positioned to secure alternative frames without the use of adapter bars.

The Hollywood Racks RV Rider item # HLY64FR weighs 72 lbs and is rated to be used behind any motor vehicle, motorhome, flat towed vehicle, or 5th wheel trailer.

I have linked a review video below.

Since your second bike is a carbon fiber frame you will want to use the Thule Carbon Bike Frame Protector item # TH984101.
